I received so many inquiries about the ‘‘Pigskin Library” (as the list 
appeared in the first chapter of my African articles in Scribner s Maga¬ 
zine [see page 23]), and so many comments were made upon it, often 
in connection with the list of books recently made public by ex-President 
Eliot, of Harvard, that I may as well myself add a word on the subject. 
In addition to the books originally belonging to the “ library,” vari¬ 
ous others were from time to time added; among them, “Alice in 
Wonderland” and “Through the Looking-Glass,” Dumas’s “Louves 
de Machekoule, ” “Tartarin de Tarascon” (not until after I had shot 
my lions!), Maurice Egan’s “Wiles of Sexton Maginnis,” James Lane 
Allen’s “Summer in Arcady,” William Allen White’s “A Certain Rich 
Man,” George Meredith’s “Farina,” and d’Aurevilly’s “Chevalier des 
Touches.” I also had sent out to me Darwin’s “Origin of Species” 
and “Voyage of the Beagle,” Huxley’s Essays, Frazer’s “Passages from 
the Bible,” Braithwaite’s “Book of Elizabethan Verse,” FitzGerald’s 
“Omar Khayyam,” Gobineau’s “Inegalite des Races Humaines” (a well- 
written book, containing some good guesses; but for a student to approach 
it for serious information would be much as if an albatross should apply 
to a dodo for an essay on flight), “ Don Quixote,” Montaigne, Mo- 
liere, Goethe’s “Faust,” Green’s “Short History of the English People,” 
Pascal, Voltaire’s “Siecle de Louis XIV,” the “Memoires de M. Simon”
